Mackdaddy2030 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Al reminded everybody about the Maggio's/ATHS truck show this coming Saturday on the events/shows section and I will here.All are welcome to come out. Old, new, any make or model, just come on out. And don't worry about any scratches in the paintor anything else. Hose the bugs off and bring the trucks out. Its all for fun. A couple years ago I brought all my trucks and mybosses two Macks. A B and an LJ. I brought five trucks to the show. Two Pete's and three Mack's. Had to find a couple drivers,but I managed. Going to try to bring a couple this year, hopefully the weather holds.If we are not working I'll be there.

I just bought it to do some milling and dirt work. I'd rather use this then my belt trailer. I have my 1/4 frame rented out. I usually only do stuff like this till asphalt starts up. Then they usually just leave me hauling that. We have over 200,000 tons of mix just for I88. The best thing about the 20' trailer is that it looks full, but I don't have much in there, lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/91/#findComment-289719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked heavy but never was. I could load it front to back up to the sides and still be a few thousand under and right on the money on axle weight. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/91/#findComment-289742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted May 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2015 I was in Cordrays pit over the winter and in there the other day. They had a Mid-Liner sitting there. Don't see those much anymore.I think these guys have one of every truck and tractor ever made sitting in their pit somewhere. The place reminds me of a messierversion of Gerharts. Lots of iron sitting around. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/91/#findComment-289818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 So this was the first real week working on 88, last week was just taking the rumble strips out. And of course 3/4 of the drivers out here are idiots. So this morning we were taking bets on what would happen first, am truck pulling out and causing an accident or a truck laying over. About 2hrs later we figured out which one it would be.Hopefully the videos posted. trim.9F72AE55-B720-4E3A-B869-FA7AD3666B90.MOVtrim.35EBB529-EF5C-453E-A1FA-18DAB63707A3.MOV Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/91/#findComment-289927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Who are you hauling the blacktop for I hauled a whopping 16 ton to a patch job at central dupage hospital from k five in Naperville I like hauling asphalt but our crew want the best at putting it downI mostly haul for Curran in DeKalb. Bought the only time I'm not there is if they are slow or have to fill a stupid minority quota. I've been hauling for them for 10 years. Today I was actually hauling millings and broken concrete. Usually if the have asphalt going out I'm on that. They have some asphalt going to Weber Grill in Huntley, but I was told they have about ten of us regular asphalt guys out on 88 cause they want us to get the better hrs and keep an eye on all the other idiots cause they don't want the company trucks going that far west. I've hauled out of most of the asphalt plants out east, but never out of K Five.Patch jobs are gravy money. And they love my belt trailer for that.
